Pension reform in Germany

After the pension reforms from the 1950s to the 1970s led to massive increases in the pension level (see e.g. 1957 pension reform ), the pension reforms since the early 1980s (with the exception of the integration of the GDR pension system) resulted in cuts in the pension reform after the allocation procedure at least the current and future pension recipients connected services paid for a part. Since then, critics have called the term pension reform a euphemism for pension cuts.
